All the special characters in almost every font seem to have disappeared in the upgrade from 5.0.0.4 to 5.0.0.5 I can no longer see the characters I want when I choose the font I know that has them in its table.
Hi David, To be quite clear, can you join a screenshot? Thank you,
Created attachment 117657 [details] domnio characters are not being displayed. most special characters are not. I need access to special characters so I will need to roll back to 5.0.0.4
My mistake, the incorrect font tables appear to be all 5.0.0.x releases. I can reproduce on 5.0.0.2, 5.0.0.4, and 5.0.0.5 Downgrading to 4.4.5.2 restores the correct behaviour. Deleting my profile did not fix the problem in 5.0.0.x
Created attachment 117660 [details] incorrect font table (5.0.0.x)
Created attachment 117661 [details] Correct font table (4.4.5.2)
I suspect that this bug and the other special character bug I reported (bug 93113) are so closely related that they are probably the same problem...i.e. the insert special character dialog code needs some attention.
Created attachment 117691 [details] Font with Unicode Symbols The sub categories for the Segoe UI Symbol font aren't read correctly in the 5.0.0.x series. Subcategories like Dominoes are not displayed in the font table for special character insertion. Test it by using the font in the 4.4.5.x series and they *are* available.
With LO 5.0.1.1 64 bit the same problem: some not-shown special characters and some wrong code page. For example: the Unicode characters 0x21D4 <=> 0x21C4 arrow left and right above. If I mouseclick the crossed field, the correct char. is shown in the textfield.

The problem was the missing (lost) recalculation at font selection. Thanks for your help! Full commit description: tdf#93114 insert character: add missing recalculate for font selection Fixing missing characters (only characters of the basic Control font showed by Insert special character dialog) and freezing (when LibreOffice tried to replace hundred of characters [missing from the chosen font] during scrolling in the insert special character dialog).
